GREENVILLE, Calif. (AP) — California’s largest wildfire has leveled much of the downtown and some surrounding homes in a small Northern California mountain community.

The Dixie Fire tore through the Greenville on Wednesday evening, destroying businesses and homes as the sky was cast in an orange glow. A photographer on assignment for The Associated Press described seeing a gas station, hotel and bar burned to the ground.

“If you are still in the Greenville area, you are in imminent danger and you MUST leave now!!” the Plumas County Sheriff’s Office posted on Facebook earlier Wednesday.

The sheriff’s department and Cal Fire did not immediately respond to messages.

The 3-week-old fire has grown to over 428 square miles (1,108 square kilometers) across Plumas and Butte counties.

We took many family vacations at Lake Almanor, only 33 miles from Greenville. That is beautiful country. We drove through Greenville a couple times on our way to the lake. Breaks my heart to see this happening.

One year at the lake was an especially bad smoke summer and we couldn't see the opposite shore of the lake.

This is near the southern entrance to Lassen National Park, northeast of Chico.

Not only that, the whole area is populated with racist, white extremist, knuckle-dragging deplorables.

Hey, not jumping on you, but these people
have lost EVERYTHING. Fire is devastating
no matter the circumstance. Mother Nature
pays no mind to the human element.
